Default Actinics near front to reduce algae growth

Holy sh** Roy. Here are my conclusions on what you have just told us...
* You can't possibly work full time and maybe not even part time - retired??
* Your wife loves you very much
* You have a big power bill
* It is unlikely you do weekly water changes

What an awesome house! I wanted to put a tank in our enormous loo
(formerly a laundry) but it gets too much sun and heat in summer. I
reckon it's one of the best places to have a tank.

Yep, we have a minimum of at least one tank in every room of the house
with the exception of the laundry room, as its just to small and
crowded. In the hall bath we have a 2 gal pico and a 10 gal NANO, in
the MAster bath we have a 16 Gal BF, in the 3rd bath there is 2, picos
of 1.6 and 2 gal, in one spare bedroom there is 5 tanks from 2 gal to
55 gal, in the other bedroom which we use as a computer room etc is 1
2 galo pico, 20 gal and 55 gal. In master bedroom there is a 110 gal
and three 2 gal picos....Dining room has 2, 2 gal picos, 1 gal, 29 gal
and 90 gal, living room has 110 gal, 75 gal, 16 gal BF, and 3 various
sized PICO's., Kitchen has 2 gal pico, hall has 4 tanks of 10, 20, 20
and 55 gal capacity. Then there is the converted feed room in the barn
wqhich is setup with all the tanks a typical Petco would have as I
managed to luck out and be near a petco one day when they were
remodieling, and all their old tanks were setting out back complete
with everything from sumps, pumps, filters, lights etc.....Then there
is also 4 tanks of 29, 29, 55 and 10 gal capacity outside in the
gazeebo........and I will not get into the numerous half whiskey
barrel water gardens and preforms form 220 gal on down that we have
all around the place, plus to large natural ponds full of koi /
goldfish etc.

Just about all tanks have fish in them to, except for a few in the
converted feed to fish room in the barn.

Nope sorry I do not have any of those novelty type tanks, but they are
pretty neat, but kind of pricey.

All I can say is I do what the wife like and it justs happens to be
what I like too, and at least I am retired, but taking care of all the
tanks is just about a full time job anymore.....I do get a break come
warmer months though as I move a lot of the fish out into a lot of the
various half barrel water features and preforms, then other than
occasional feedings and water top offs they are pretty well self
sufficient from about late April until about Mid November, until they
need to get moved back indoors.

All the 2 gal and under are SW picos, and most of the 10 gal and 20
gal are SW as well, and so are the 90 and one of the 110 gal tanks,
the rest are freshwater. I still have a few more to setup somewhere
someday.
